Runaway Heart

By Teresa Slack

"Perfect Hallmark movie material." Amazon Reviewer The most important journey is the one that takes you home.Running at the first sign of opposition is nothing new to Kyla Parrish. She's never held onto a relationship for more than a few months, and she's quit more jobs than most people apply for. Until Will Lachland. He's the first man who ever made her think of getting serious about something, about putting down roots. But she can't forget her mother's ominous warning. Men are users. They take and take and leave nothing but a shell of who she used to be. Fear of losing her heart to anyone or anything has kept Kyla running all her life. This time, she runs from Chicago to the family farm in Ohio where she spent her happiest childhood summers. A new life and a new chance at romance seem like the answer to Kyla's prayers. But things are never as simple as they seem. Can she find the love she longs for even though she can't forget Will? Or is something else, something greater, calling her heart toward home?This unpredictable contemporary Christian romance novel will encourage readers while reminding them how much fun falling in love can be. "Teresa Slack's well drawn characters pull you in from the very first page. The country setting was very real to me. What more could you want? Read it." ---Molly Noble Bull, author of When the Cowboy Rides Away"Pre-planning life isn't always successful. This wonderful story leads us into the mind of a flawed woman who tries to control her own destiny...but she's not sure what that destiny might be because she can't trust anyone but herself. But the running leads her to the exact place where much of it began, the only 'home' she could ever remember that stood for security and love. And there, with the help of a past 'rock', neighbors and God she finally gains the strength and wisdom to move her life away from aimless running from her fears to a love and trust she longs for." ---Jo Duff"Two well-developed characters to root for A purpose to find. Romantic tension. I really enjoyed this take on a traditional romantic plot. A clean and often funny romance that kept me involved til the end." ---Reader Rabbit"Left wanting more. I really enjoyed this book. Great characters and story, and I didn't want it to end. I hope Teresa Slack plans a sequel - I want to know more about what happens in all of the characters lives " ---A. Wollschlager"Another amazing Christian fiction novel. I have loved every book Teresa Slack has written. This was another amazing read I always enjoy good, clean books. This one was an awesome story including romance, family heritage, as well as finding one's true purpose." ---Alyshia Crace"I wasn't ready for this book to end. The characters were endearing. It was a very well told story. I look forward to reading more by this author." ---LD"Put your life in God's hands He will guide you in the right direction. Just when you think you have it all figured out the plot changes. Very good read." ---Judy Dawn
